The vette was the faster car. But the tesla got the hole shot on the first round. Now if the Tesla jumped the gun on the yellow as some here are saying, the light should have showed red and he would have been disqualified.
Yup. If you follow the tree lights (I’m assuming they were in sync for both lanes) you’ll see that when the last yellow for the right lane is still lit the tesla leaves. Never saw a red light but it sure looked like he left a skoosh early to me. Since it wasn’t a “real” race, maybe the red didn’t come on. Maybe the should have done it like the finals. Staged, one yellow, green. Gotta be on your toes when the yellow starts to fade, you go. Carefully.
